Screening Policy and Police Check Vulnerable Sector Screening

Oshawa Girls Hockey Association Screening Policy

The Oshawa Girls Hockey Association, in accordance to the OWHA, uses a stepped screening process for Police Checks.  A volunteer who does not comply with submitting the required documents at each step will not be permitted to be on the ice, on the bench, or in the dressing room with the team.

A Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) is required for EVERY adult, 18 years of age and over, who assists with a team and will have direct contact with the girls. 

WHAT DOCUMENTATION DOES THE OGHA REQUIRE?

NEW APPLICANT

Year 1:  A Vulnerable Sector Check (original copy), not dating any older than 6 months, must be submitted to the Team Manager or Coach in a sealed envelope addressed to:  PRIVACY OFFICER  

  • Ensure you obtain the OGHA Volunteer letter to receive the VSC at the volunteer rate. The volunteer letter must be uploaded to the Police website when applying for the VSC. A Police Check - Vulnerable Sector Search can only be obtained in the region in which you reside.  For Durham Region, this process can be done online at www.drps.ca/onlinechecks (scroll down to VSC). Toronto Residents, please contact privacyofficer@oshawagirlshockey.ca for more information.  
  • We do NOT accept third party police checks (e.g. mycrc.ca)

Year 2 and 3: Criminal Offence Declaration (page 2) must be completed.  Refer to the OWHA Screening Policy, pages 6 and 7, for a list of disqualifying convictions. ONCE completed, you must submit the original copy to the Team Manager/Coach and address to PRIVACY OFFICER.
